About this Event
Turn Complexity into Capital Clarity
Join the Charlottesville Business Innovation Council (CBIC) for a focused, founder-forward morning designed to demystify funding pathways and prepare you to pursue capital with confidence.
Whether you're building, growing, or scaling an innovation-driven company, this session delivers practical insight into how to access the right capital at the right time—and how to position your business to secure it.
☕ Coffee, conversation, and capital clarity—served fresh.
Why Attend
This is not theory. This is tactical. You’ll gain a clear understanding of:
- Funding fit — grants, loans, angel, and venture capital (and when each makes sense)
- Capital readiness — what investors and lenders actually look for
- Scaling strategy — how funding needs evolve as your company grows
- Today’s venture landscape — what’s changed, what matters now
- Designed as a primer for the Tom Tom Innovation Summit later that week—so you can show up sharper, more prepared, and ready to go deeper.
